Backup Plan copy all files again

Post by Sobreiro »

Hi!

I'm new in Asustor NAS. I'm actually running some backup plan to a external drive.
After do the first job, i start again the backup, but i see the app backup again all the stuff "blindly"! It was not supposed to copy only the new files and the modified ones?!
Maybe there's something i'm going wrong... :(

Hope you can help!


Best regards.

Did you select synchronisation or schedule backup?

If the latter, did you select 'skip if not modified'?

Hello, I am also new here. I also run my backups to my external hard drives via "External Backup". Unfortunately, it always recopies all the data, which is why a backup always runs for many hours. The setting to skip if a file exists does not exist for me. I can set this hook at "FTP backup".

External Backup through ADM isn't the same as Backup Plan (the application installed on your computer), so the settings will be different.

I haven't used it before, but I think what you want is Archive Mode - https://www.asustor.com/online/online_help?id=48

Thank you for the quick reply. I have found the settings and tried them. Worked wonderfully. Must have overlooked. Thanks for the tip!
